Our April 2026 issue contains two in-depth articles providing fascinating insight on aspects of Hinduism not normally covered in publications. The first is “Exploring East India’s Mighty Brahmaputra River.” From its origins near Manasarovar Lake and Mount Kailas, the world’s ninth largest river flows 1,900 miles through Tibet, into India, then Bangladesh, to the Bay of Bengal. Our photographer Thomas Kelly and writer Ellen Coon journey along the river meeting people of various faiths and ethnicities along the India portion, all of whom view the abundance-giving and sometimes destructive river with great devotion.
